My name is Thomas Steiner and for the past 9 years I am acting as the Global Strategic Account Director for several major global Life Science companies. I am based at the Emerson Process Management Europe - HQ in Baar/Switzerland. 1993 after graduating as Mechanical Engineer (Bachelor of Science) specialized in Thermal Dynamics, I worked as a Design Engineer for steam turbine over-speed protection systems at ABB Power Generation in Switzerland. 1997, I joined Emerson (former Fisher – Rosemount) as a Control System Desk Sales Engineer supporting Switzerland and Austria, as well as different Eastern Europe countries. Between 2000 and 2002, I’ve spent 2 years at Emerson Process Management in Austin/TX working as a Technical Consultant for new technologies supporting the North- and South American sales organization.
End of 2002 I returned back to Switzerland and was promoted as the DeltaV and DeltaV SIS Product Manager for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMA). 2006, I was appointed as the Business Development Manager for Emerson new Safety Instrumented Systems (aka DeltaV SIS). In this role I was responsible for all business development related efforts across all Europe, Middle East and Africa. 2010, I took over the Sales Manager role for Emerson Process Management Systems & Solutions in Switzerland and 4 years later (beginning 2014) I was given the opportunity to assume global strategic account leadership for NOVARTIS, ROCHE and LONZA.
